Dad wants to see some of the mountain country here, so we explore up Pine Valley road. The campgrounds here are still under snow drifts, and the road is closed at the Pine Valley reservoir. It’s a bit of a shock to encounter snow after all our recent desert pursuits. Hiking to the south and east is out of the question, but I see one trail on the south facing slope of the valley, and that provides us with a good climb to a rock outcropping with nice views.
